I will give \\ a try, but it has to be typed quite a bit when
referencing inner classes, so keeping it easy to type is a must. I feel
like \\ requires a large movement to type, at least on a qwerty
non-english keyboard. Maybe people using other keyboards can chime in.
I'm using a German keyboard where the backslash is indeed not
particularly convenient to type, but that already applies to regular
classes / namespaces. Once I reach out to type the backslash, the number
of backslashes I type doesn't particularly matter, so I don't follow how
typing would be any more complicated than regular class names.
The double backslash has one notable drawback in strings, where it would
blow up to four backslashes in a row, but with the `::class` syntax and
first class callables, putting class-names in strings should hopefully
be rare going forward.
I don't think that inner classes are sufficiently valuable
I'm curious why some people feel this way and why some other people are
saying the opposite (emphatically). I'll nudge the private emails I've
received to speak up publicly on the list as well. But, why do you feel
this way?
You cut the context from the part you quoted, so I'm not sure how to
answer to that question, since it seems to be based on a false premise.
